Sermon Tone Analysis

!!! Evidence #1

There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world.

Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present.

!!! Evidence #2

Natural selection (the supposed evolution mechanism, along with mutations) is incapable of advancing an organism to a "higher-order".

!!! Evidence #3

Although evolutionists state that life resulted from non-life, matter resulted from nothing, and humans resulted from animals, each of these is an impossibility of science and the natural world.

!!! Evidence #4

The supposed hominids (creatures in-between ape and human that evolutionists believe used to exist) bones and skull record used by evolutionists often consists of `finds' which are thoroughly unrevealing and inconsistent.

They are neither clear nor conclusive even though evolutionists present them as if they were.

!!! Evidence #5

Nine of the twelve popularly supposed hominids are actually extinct apes~/ monkeys and not part human at all.

!!! Evidence #6

The final three supposed hominids put forth by evolutionists are actually modern human beings and not part monkey~/ ape at all.

Therefore, all twelve of the supposed hominids can be explained as being either fully monkey~/ ape or fully modern human but not as something in between.

!!! Evidence #7

Natural selection can be seen to have insurmountable social and practical inconsistencies.

!!! Evidence #8

Natural selection has severe logical inconsistencies.

!!! Evidence #9

The rock strata finds (layers of buried fossils) are better explained by a universal flood than by evolution.

----

!!! Bias Towards Evolution

Evolutionists often have come forth and admitted their own and their colleagues' extreme degree of bias in this matter.

Some have admitted that their approach has not been scientific or objective at all.

Many admit to the severe lack of evidence for evolution and that they have accepted their conclusions only because they are unwilling to accept that evolution never occurred.

(And other final considerations.)

----

!!!

Many ...believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a `fact' and, therefore, it must be accepted...

In recent years, a great many people...having finally been persuaded to make a real examination of the problem of evolution, have become convinced of its fallacy and are now convinced anti-evolutionists."

/-- Henry Morris, former evolutionist./

!! EVIDENCE #1

*There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world.

Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present.*

/Absolutely no transitional forms either in the fossil record or in modern animal and plant life have been found.

All appear fully formed and complete.

The fossil record amply supplies us with representation of almost all species of animals and plants but none of the supposed links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, or reptile to birds and mammals are represented nor any transitional forms at all.

There are essentially the same gaps between all the basic kinds in the fossil record as exists in plant and animal life today.

There are literally a host of missing links in the fossil record and the modern world./

#. "There is no evidence in the fossil record of one kind of creature becoming another kind.

No transitional links or intermediate forms between various kinds of creatures have ever been found."

For example, "the evolutionist claims that it took perhaps fifty million years for a fish to evolve into an amphibian.

But, again, there are no transitional forms.

For example, not a single fossil with part fins...part feet has been found.

And this is true between every major plant and animal kind."

([22], p.19)

#. "Nowhere do we see animals with partially evolved legs, eyes, brains, or various other tissues, organs, and biological structures."

([22], p.19-20)

#. "If continuous evolution is a universal law of nature, as the evolutionist claims, then there should be an abundance of evidences of continuity and transition between all the kinds of organisms involved in the process, both in the present world and in the fossil record.

Instead we find great gaps between all the basic kinds, and essentially the same gaps in the fossil record that exist in the modern world."

([18], p.34)

#.

There are no links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, reptile to birds and mammals.

There are no links whatsoever.

#. "All of the present orders, classes, and phyla appear quite suddenly in the fossil record, without indications of the evolving lines from which they developed.

The same is largely true even for most families and genera.

There are literally an innumerable host of `missing links' in the record." ([18] , p.33)

#. "There is simply no evidence of partially evolved animals or plants in the fossil record to indicate that evolution has occurred in the past, and certainly no evidence of partially evolved animals and plants existing today to indicate that evolution is occurring at the present."

([22], p.20)

#. "...the outstanding characteristics of the fossil record is the absence of evidence for evolution."

([11], p.50)

#.

If there were links then they would have been found since the fossil record is "...quite ample to represent the true state of the ancient world.

Most individual species of fossil plants and animals have been collected in considerable numbers, but the hypothetical intermediate species have never been represented at all!" ([18], p.33)

#.

Darwin stated, "Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms?

Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?"

([11], p.46)

#.

Darwin admitted that the number of transitional links "must have been conceivably great."

The fact that there are none prompted him to conclude that this fact is "the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory."

#. "The occasional suggested examples of missing links (such as the famous archaeopteryx - supposedly linking the birds and reptiles) can usually be recognized on closer study to represent merely another type of one of the basic kinds it supposedly links (the archaeopteryx was a true bird, by any reasonable definition, with feathers and warm blood)."

([18], p.33-34)

#. "Even if a creature shared characteristics belonging to two separate groups, however, this would not necessarily make it a transitional link as long as each of the characteristics themselves is complete and not in the process of transition from one type of structure or function into another type of structure or function."

([22], p.25)

#. "Because of the lack of evidence for gradual evolution in the fossil record, more and more evolutionists are adopting a new theory of evolution known as macroevolution.

The theory of macroevolution teaches that animals and plants

#. changed suddenly from one kind to another without going through any gradual or transitional process."

#.

Other evolutionists claim that the links are missing only because the changes are so small that they are not noticed.

The problem here is that they are assuming that at every point in the evolution process the being would appear as complete or whole.

Actually, they would appear as in transition as when a house is being built.

#. "The point to remember...is that the fossil problem for Darwinism is getting worse all the time."

([11], p.57)

 

!! EVIDENCE #2

*Natural selection (the evolution mechanism, along with mutations) is incapable of advancing an organism to a "higher-order".*

/It can be noted that natural selection as a driving mechanism for evolution is totally inadequate.

Natural selection (along with mutation) is said to have caused organisms to evolve from one basic kind (animals which can reproduce with one another) into another basic kind.

This is prohibited genetically since all of the information for the development of an organism has already been encoded in the DNA of its parent.

Variation to organisms must remain within its basic kind.

For example, genetically, a wide variety of dogs can come to exist, but a dog can never become anything other than a dog.

It remains in its kind.

It does not have the genetic ability to become anything more.

Admitting this, evolutionists have tried to explain that natural selection happened in conjunction with mutations to the genetic code.

This could not produce evolution, however, since mutations do not create new genetic potential, they just alter what is already there.

Furthermore, mutations are small, random, and harmful alterations to the genetic code.

This also makes evolution from mutations impossible.

For example, a working wristwatch does not improve but is harmed when its inside parts are randomly altered.

Natural selection also contradicts the second law of thermodynamics which states that, left to themselves, all things tend to deteriorate rather than develop, while evolution wants to go in the opposite direction.

"Survival of the fittest" demonstrates only how an organism has survived, not how it has evolved./

#. "All the `information' for the development of each particular organism was already `encoded' in the DNA of its parent.

They must reproduce `after their kinds'."

([18], p.25)

#. "There are great numbers of `genes' (or DNA molecules) in each germ cell, and these can be arranged in various ways to permit a wide range of variation in the individual members of a basic `kind' of plant or animal, but the possible range of variation is nevertheless limited to the basic genetic framework of that particular `kind'."

([18], p.25)

#. "The genetic system permits a wide variety of specific features (eye color, height, shape of skull, etc.) within the limits of a particular kind.

These characteristics vary in accordance with the Mendelian laws of heredity.
